Last Chance: Share Your No. 1 Goal for 2026

To be successful in the package and label manufacturing industry, staying up to date on the latest technologies, trends, and strategies is paramount. And while printers and converters have a wealth of resources that can help them do that, the most powerful resource by far is other printers and converters.

We see that each year at the Digital Packaging Summit, where attendees freely share their experiences and challenges with like-minded peers.

Building on that momentum, Packaging Impressions is launching a monthly survey — the Packaging Pulse — to give printed label and packaging manufacturers a new space to share their thoughts and to hear from their peers.

Each monthly survey asks a single key question — one that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what’s happening on your production floor, in your workflows, and across your customer relationships.

This month, we’re digging into the biggest challenges the industry wants to tackle this year, and we want to hear from you.

Why? Because we want to paint a real picture of where the industry is headed and what challenges (or opportunities) converters are tackling right now; your insights will add color to that picture.

At the end of each month, we’ll share the results with our Packaging Impressions e-newsletter audience, and your individual response may be highlighted in the mini-report.

This month, we want to know: What’s the biggest challenge you’re solving in your operation this year?

If you have an opinion, a tip, a frustration, or even a hot take, we’d love to include it.

Deadline to contribute: Friday, Jan. 16

Thanks for being part of the conversation, and for helping us spotlight what really matters inside today’s packaging and label operations.
